@@jubbin4849Wow!!!! I was thinking the exact same thing! AWM streams are a nagging session. Not only that, but the dude thinks he knows better than every single person in chat. And he talks to them like their babies. No wonder he is the most hated and annoying streamer around.

Gigabeef in 2023: Friendship ended with RFB. AK101 is my new friend.

[@Iforgor777]

this weapon been my go to for a lil bit, but you’ll definitely have some “fuuuuuck if only I had a 60 rounder” moments with it lmao. ultra 5 suppressor barter and an rk-1, any -4 recoil hand guard and you’re chillin. hamr sight with a delta point is awesome or you could just run a holo. Either way it’s a laser beam.

[@MsArchitectschannel]

HAMR is traaash since they fucked the delta point and every other micro sight, it was meh before that also but unusable since, i'd rather just run a 3.5x for 1/2 the price or an elcan for 3/4 the price!

[@Iforgor777]

@@MsArchitectschannel hm I dunno, delta point still feels relatively ok to me, bravo and hamr are my go to when I’m not running vudu/holo and I still get good results with the delta point. I agree that the rest of the micro sights are a meme tho

[@MsArchitectschannel]

@@Iforgor777 Delta point is only useful on low recoil guns while laying down. if you are moving or standing or there is ANY level of recoil the bullets don't go anywhere near where the red dot is. if you are more than 5m from someone you are hitting over their head or under their feet (it's random which one) all the micro sights are the same

[@crashy.4083]

@@MsArchitectschannelI've never had an issue with the delta point and I use it all the time

[@tommywu9361]

I really love the AK-101, but at the moment I am having a difficulty choosing between the AK-101 or the MCX when I want to pick a gun that's off-meta, especially now with the addition of the CBJ cartridge for .300.

[@Gigabeef]

Yeah MCX will destroy the 101 at close range to be fair

[@wbajohnn]

@@Gigabeef I just don't like the Mcx it's so 50/50 with me

[@gusupy-tr2zv]

I think it would be cool if they added one of the 308 guns on the ak platform, like the zastava m77

[@Henry-oz2ey]

they showed the ak-308 receiver a while ago, was very surprised they didnt add it with the ak-12 since its in that same generation of the AK family

[@snowi9585]

Ah fuck gigabeef... Muh ak101 prices....

[@kreuger2545]

is the KAC QDC 5.56x45 sound suppressor a good supressor to buy. Im not to good at tarkov but it is like 43k supressor for -%14 recoil.

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

1:46 The way this is edited is so slick!

[@Gigabeef]

Haha really? I didn't think it was that crazy :)

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

@@Gigabeef yup absolutely, the image of the AK-101 is very clear with clean edges and just blurring the gameplay background makes for a very minimalist and clean look, working with blur or emulating the look of frosted glass called glassmorphism makes it appear more premium and is used by Apple on IOS and now Windows 11 uses it as well with its new design language

[@franciscoetchepare8742]

Now that I think about it, you can run a very similar build without reaching those trader levels since M856A1 is really accessible. On mechanic 1 there's a barter that costs 5 gp coins for an ak-104 with the rrd, the canted rk1, a - 3% recoil handguard, the saw pistol grip and the holographic you were using in the video. After that, you swap parts and sell what you don't use

[@ZigaZagu]

Good luck with mags

[@nicklasomme3329]

Love your videoes! Keep the great videoes up. I enjoy your guides and explanation videoes. It makes getting an overview of EFT so much easier, even as an experienced player.

[@JustAFriendlyFrenchDude]

I literally just rewatched your video on the Ak-101 from last patch lol

[@pikachurocks442]

Using the VS Combo will yield the same recoil but more ergo.

[@skmojoed]

Is it the same price? And are they available from the same traders and trader levels?

Gonna have to try a Meta 101 after nearly wiping a 3 man and dying with the Scar-L to the last dude. That gun is just ass and I don't understand why.

@Gigabeef this or G36 build ? [more RoF] or even AKS-74UB ?

[@albrexor]

Great breakdown, could you do a similar video for 7.62x39, I have BP unlocked and would want to see your take on a super efficient build to spit out these great rounds!

[@Cypress1312]

Step 1: purchase RD-704 Step 2: spend 100k on modding Step 3: drink 5 5 hour energies and lock in your favorite PVP map Step 4: shift+w Step 5: ??? Step 6: offload 6 dogtags to therapist

[@MsArchitectschannel]

Meta recoil 101 is the GP-25 grenade launcher ;)

[@mars.unreal]

You forgot the charging handle for 1 ergo (3k RU). :D

[@justincorzo10]

Thank you for the good content as always

[@criticalthrash]

I think you can use the trax 1/2 bridge combo for a cheaper build with similar stats to the krebs and gasblock change

[@Raxxman]

VS Combo is a better budget build imo, it's like 4k more once you factor in gas tube but has better recoil and ergo than the krebs. I don't even think the Troys 0.5% recoil is worth over the VS combos better ergo.

[@Martin-vy7mm]

Why dont Tarkov content creators grab enemy weapons? If that was me, I would be running away with atleast an extra rifle and another in my bag if possible. I get weight is a concern but its not like they wont be able to regain stamina while walking if they just have 40kg

[@Gigabeef]

Usually it's better to loot random junk for 10k per slot that you can sell on the flea vs a gun that isn't find in raid that you have to sell to traders, unless you're gonna use it yourself and it's particularly kitted

[@benallmon5613]

AK101 is OP. Thing is a beam. I only make M995 and am buying 856A1 on cooldown.

[@Vorusen]

I haven't played much this wipe because the svt killed all early and mid game fun for me. Still like watching these kinds of videos to keep in touch though

[@samuellefischer9596]

DONT TELL THEM ABOUT MY SECRET

[@niiielsen]

But its just not good enough because of the lack of 60 rounders to be able to be adapted by the common Tarkov player whose only way of engaging an enemy is to spray at all distances

[@colkillervin3560]

You know come to think of it for a “realistic” game it’s recoil system for attachments is very simplistic. Like this attachment reduces recoil by 3% while this is one reduces recoil by 5% instead of reduced vertical recoil by 5% and reduced horizontal recoil by 3%

[@tracymcgrady4867]

horizontal recoil doesnt make a practical difference

[@blainehenry8306]

@@tracymcgrady4867 try using the Aug and you’ll change your mind

[@tracymcgrady4867]

@@blainehenry8306 the horizontal recoil stat has nothing to do with actual horizontal recoil in game. Read on hidden gun stats

[@aggrenox312]

there is a foregrip with +10 ergo for very cheap but not many handguards can take it (the krebs is compatible), i always use it when i can because the muzzle and stock have the greatest recoil benefits anyway

[@adamkaneshiro]

meanwhile the m4 and hk416 are sitting there shouting: "am i a joke to you?"🙃

Shhhh don’t tell them my secret fav gun hahahha. The AK-102 can but had for cheap as well and is a lot of fun to use for those closer engagements. Had slightly higher recoil than the 101 but is very good

[@triela420]

I prefer the 102 for the full meta build, the 101 for the budget

[@RainbowMoney2711]

AMAIZING THANKS, BEAUTIFUL BUILD

AK101 - best recoil mod is grenade launcher and canted sight :) :) when in group i play as demolition master :D

[@biglootums5243]

this is the way

[@LikeACrouton]

I tried it randomly last wipe, and yeah it's just way more controllable than the other options for the price, even at ll2

[@KadiusFTW]

Why go with the bastion when the dog leg exists?

[@Gigabeef]

Dog leg has no recoil reduction, Bastion is -1%. Worth for 2 ergo imo

[@KadiusFTW]

@@Gigabeef figured this was a case of the ergo being more worth due to low innate recoil

[@CallMeAsty]

This guy could convince me to buy a wallet every day

[@ZND014]

At this state of the wipe anything that has less than 50bullet mag is just not enough. Also rate of fire of this ak is very low thus m4 will always be superior to it even at budget build around 200k

The problem with the AK-101 is that it only has 30 round mags + Money doesnt really matter in the latter stages of the wipe so its never worth it to run the ak instead of the m4 ever.
